Do you run tubeless tires? If so, what are your thought on it. If not, why? Let me know down below 👇👇.
Switched to tubeless two years ago. Never going back. After the initial setup, my set up has been problem free.
Same man! Never going back. It is also dependent on tire wheel combo. I run GP5000's on DT Swiss wheels and they will not go on without the use of dish soap + tire levers. First time mounting, it took me 2 hours to figure that out but now I can do it in 5 minutes 😂 Nice tip with the strap, I will take that one with me!
Where do you get the straps? Does the type have a particular name?
Thank You for the video!!! going tubeless soon
It takes literally 4 minutes to swap out a tube on a tire including taking out and putting the tire back on.
good video. you're giving up some watts using the gum wall ("transparent" color in Continental speak) version of those GP5000 S TR's. the black wall version of the same tire tests 2w per tire faster at 18 mph. it would be about 5w per tire at 25 mph. it's a mystery as to why the gum wall version is so damn slow.
Same technique and Ryobi pump I use, noice!
Awesome video mate!
I've been running tubeless on mine and my wifes road bikes for a little over a year now. GP5k on Roval CLX and I can mount them without tire levers, but it's a real PITA. So a cheap plastic tire lever like you used is all I need. I do have a shop air compressor and removing the valve core and a quick blast of air will seat the tire every time. I like the strap hack though, nice one. Since switching to tubeless I've had five "failures". First one was a pinch flat hitting a pothole on a decent in a paceline that was not called out in time to avoid it (my wife was the one in front of me too). The other four of them in one week while on a cycling vacation. I learned my lesson about using cheap rim tape, always go with quality tape as two of the failures had to do with that. Next one was a sharp object that my wife hit on the road (glass, rock, or metal) and made a small puncture. The fourth one was on my bike and it too was a small puncture. So baring the rim tape failure, there have been three punctures in a year. The pinch flat obviously required a tire replacement and the punctures were sealed up by the sealent. The one puncture on my tire didn't seal all the way and required a plug, that's where my point is made. Get a DynaPlug and you can plug a tire before it goes flat in most cases and barely miss a moment of riding. I only lost 10lbs of pressure and caught back up to the group and finished the ride. So yeah, you can say putting a tube in only takes a few minutes but you're totally missing the point of tubeless vs tubes. Tubeless will not puncture with a small thorn or in most cases even a larger hole that will indeed puncture a tube. Proper tubeless setup will last longer and be more forgiving than a tube setup. And do not run sealant in a tube, it will not be effective.
